Global Warming
Personal Solutions for a Healthy Planet
Résumé
Global warming has been described as the biggest environmental threat facing humanity. From drought to hurricanes, global warming has various effects on our lives, some positive but most are negative. People fear potentially catastrophic consequences but there is a disturbing lack of understanding about global warming and what can be done about it. Too Hot to Handle breaks through the jargon, offering readers both a clear description of the problem and a practical guide to the solutions. It offers hope that each of us can be doing something to solve the problem and that we should -- not only for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren.
